[Bridge to Mayfair. Artemis ‘as been signalled by the planet designated 285-U-2 II, an’ we’re makin’ best speed there now. They’ve requested urgent aid an’ said somethin’ ‘bout a drought before the message cut out. 2 things please. Do we ‘ave any medical information at all about the inhabitants of that planet? An’ can you take the lead on gettin’ a relief mission equipped. We may have to treat mass dehydration an’ malnourishment. How do we do that? I need your planet sized brain for that one. Call Engineerin’ an’ Support if you need to.]
There was no hint of mockery at all in the calm voice - Mara had nothing but respect for Robin's capabilities, and she was counting on them coming to the fore.
